00:01:43.780They have a bad regime that's been bad for a long time.
00:01:48.060Today, Israel and the U.S. are expanding their strikes on Iran.
00:01:51.140For the first time, Israel is now attacking energy installations across Iran, even as
00:01:55.280war widens, President Trump still sounds optimistic Iran will give up soon.
00:01:59.680They're being decimated now. You know, at some point,0.85
00:02:02.960I don't think there will be anybody left maybe to say we surrender.
00:02:07.120Iran is still punching back, with strikes on Gulf states that host American military
00:02:12.080installations, like this government building in Kuwait City. Iran's president apologized
00:02:16.560to its neighbors, offering to halt their attacks on Arab Gulf countries
00:02:20.400if they stop hosting American strikes on Iran.
00:02:22.800Iran named Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son Moshtaba to succeed his father as supreme leader,
00:02:32.120signaling that hardliners remain firmly in charge in Tehran.
00:02:36.380Tonight, the FBI is investigating two men after an explosive device with bolts and screws
00:02:41.620was thrown into a crowd. It happened in New York City on Saturday during a protest that
00:02:46.760turned violent outside the mayor's official residence.
00:02:49.400New York City Mayor Zeran Mamdani, who is Muslim, was inside Gracie Mansion when a small anti-Islam protest took place here.
00:02:57.540Yesterday afternoon, a larger counter-protest then showed up, and police say two men who were part of that group brought those homemade devices.
00:03:05.760This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City.
00:03:11.920Tonight, two teens from Pennsylvania are in federal custody, tied to dueling protests near the mayor of New York City's residence yesterday.
00:03:20.400All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:24.040Today is March 9th, 2026, Anno Domini, and folks, I'm furious, I'm livid, I'm seething
00:09:53.740It'll be very clear that even though it wasn't necessarily successful, this was an ISIS bombing in New York City.
00:10:01.180One of the terrorists, and this is according to Nick Sordor, who's basing it off of the indictment that just dropped,
00:10:05.740emir balat admitted that he wanted to carry out an attack bigger than the boston bombing and his
00:10:12.580buddy ibrahim kayoumi has now been as well has been charged with attempt provision of material
00:10:17.960support and resources to do to a designated foreign terrorist organization use of weapons
00:10:22.840of mass destruction transportation of explosive materials interstate transportation and receipt
00:10:27.320of explosives and unlawful possession of destructive devices and i want to go through
00:10:32.600because we've got, and you can see this all across Facebook and all the people in my southeastern
00:10:37.460Pennsylvania, you know, friend group and friend community, they're sending me this, that this is
00:10:42.060a student, someone saying that this was a student at the Nesemone School District in Nesemone High
00:10:48.620School, which again, just outside Philadelphia, that is known as a sleeper community. It's not
00:10:56.180a sleeper cell, it's a sleeper community, full of sleeper cells as well. There you go. The sleeper
00:11:01.620community with the sleeper cell and these are safe neighborhoods these are safe areas that are
00:11:08.380just not used to seeing this kind of violence another one out of newtown with council rock1.00
00:11:13.840and again you just you import a couple of third worlders and all of a sudden boom0.63
00:11:18.880isis terror cell right in your midst i want to get an arn mcintyre here for a host of the
00:11:24.260arn mcintyre show because he and i have talked about this at length arn what are we to make of
00:11:30.100this, that these are American citizens. They are born in the United States. They were raised in
00:11:37.000the United States. They seem to be doing very well. They've had great access to what we're told
00:11:42.340is the American dream. Their families, for both of them, live in one house, I think it's like
00:11:49.980worth 2.5 million, another one approaching a million dollars if we have the right address
00:11:55.200here. I don't want to get too into that. But point being is they're not in impoverished
00:11:59.040conditions whatsoever. They're living in very, very nice, affluent areas. And yet they took it
00:12:06.020upon themselves to still join this ISIS terror cell and commit an act of terrorism in New York
00:12:11.760City. Do they view themselves as Americans? Why? They have American citizenship. What's going on
00:12:17.180here? Well, Jack, this is why it's so important. For so long, we were discussing the immigration
00:12:22.620issue. We talked about illegal immigration. We all knew it was bad. I mean, it's in the name.
00:12:26.940it's illegal we have to stop it these people are undocumented they're not vetted they're coming0.99
00:12:31.520across we don't know who they are but people like you and i have been pointing out for a long time0.94
00:12:36.300leading the charge on hopefully understanding that it's not just illegal immigration that's
00:12:40.640the problem it's the legal immigration as well because even when we bring people in legally
00:12:45.700even when perhaps the parents of these two alleged terrorists came in they believed that they were
00:12:51.920being properly vetted they were going through the process they were meeting all the requirements
00:12:55.780But it's not just about the process. America is not just a piece of paper. American identity is not just an oath you take. It's not just a set of rules that you read out. It is something that is ingrained. It's a tradition. It's a belief. The love of this country is something that needs to be cultivated. It needs to be shared. It's not something that you can necessarily just download into somebody because they happen to have gone through a process.
00:13:19.380And even if you bring in perhaps parents that don't have these beliefs, their children can easily be radicalized because they're not part of the longer tradition.0.83
00:13:28.620And that's why we need to be far more selective about who we're allowing into this country.0.90
00:13:33.460We need an immigration moratorium so we can take a break, so we can understand who is in our country, what these people believe.1.00
00:13:39.340Are they dangerous? Are they sympathetic to terrorism?0.84
00:13:42.260Is there something we need to do to better integrate these people into our society?
00:13:47.760Or do we need to deport these people?0.99
00:13:49.380These are all questions that we can only ask once we stop the flow of immigration, both legal and illegal.0.96
00:13:55.520And the delusion is going to be able to pick out every one of these people.
00:13:59.780But hold on a second now, because these these people, though, these two individuals, these teenagers, high school students, that they they were not immigrants, though.
00:14:15.740Right. Again, we're assuming that that generation is just suddenly going to become American because they happen to have been born second generation into the United States.
00:14:24.960But we see so often that's just not the case. It's not sufficient.
00:14:28.800We need a cultural understanding of citizenship, a generational understanding of citizenship, not one that simply gets magically transferred to someone because they stepped onto our soil or happens to transfer into people who are not really part of our culture, but whose parents came here, didn't really assimilate, and then had children that continued their ideology.
00:14:50.340We need to understand that there are second order consequences to both illegal and legal mass immigration.
00:14:57.480And without understanding that, without applying that, we're going to see more and more of this violence.0.57
00:15:01.840We're now at a point where we have different tribal groups deciding who's going to be the mayor of Minneapolis.0.66
00:15:08.020And then we see these ancient blood feuds imported into the United States, even through second generation immigrants, people who were born into this country.0.99
00:15:16.980It's a disastrous situation and we need to take control of our immigration.0.99
00:15:21.680We need to know who's here and we need to know what they believe.1.00
00:15:25.960And you look at this, the parents live in luxurious homes.
00:15:29.400So again, you know, there's just so much about this story that I feel just cuts against all of the arguments that we hear against.
00:15:37.600They'll say, because, of course, one of the ones you'll always hear is like, oh, well, sometimes you see these criminal rates in the second generation or first generation, depending on how they count it.
00:15:46.980the children of migrants because of the poor socio-economic backgrounds that migrants find
00:15:53.240themselves in. So it's because of these socio-economic factors that cause them to lash1.00
00:15:57.800out. And yet we don't see that. We don't see that at all in this case. They don't have any
00:16:01.980poor socio-economic factors. They're doing better than most people in Pennsylvania are doing.
00:16:06.540They're doing so much better. And in many cases, of course, we also find that migrants,1.00
00:16:11.780And this is a whole other topic for another day that migrants have found themselves access to minority income streams from the Small Business Administration, which generally were targeted for lower income minorities in the United States that come from African-American backgrounds and others or others because of what they feel is an imbalance in the history.
00:16:35.400well, well, well, migrant isn't someone who's been discriminated against in the past because
00:16:38.980they weren't here before. And yet those same loans still apply because, you know, we're not
00:16:44.480allowed to really ask those questions. So it's instead what you have is a system where people
00:16:48.800are coming in immediately getting a leg up. And yet they still there, or at least the children
00:16:53.520still want to commit acts like this. And in one case, according again, just very preliminary
00:16:59.740reports. I'm just going to say about on that for all of this, but I just don't know. And I've said
00:17:04.260this in a number of cases how parents can have children in their homes that are building multiple
00:17:11.100IEDs even if they're teenagers and know nothing about it I'm because they're talking about
00:17:16.000recovering multiple devices trying to figure out what's going on here yeah always confusing you0.74
00:17:21.420hope the parents would be aware of what's going on and would report it if they knew but you do
00:17:26.100have to worry about the sympathies of the parents of course when you see something like this and as
00:17:31.460point out there's this ridiculous narrative that terrorism is simply called uh caused by oppression
00:17:36.660or some kind of socioeconomic factors but we know that many of the 9-11 hijackers in fact most of
00:17:42.740them were actually relatively wealthy well off these are college educated many they were studying
00:17:47.940in germany right these are not the poorest of the poor so that has nothing to do ultimately with
00:17:54.020radicalization radicalization is not simply socioeconomic it's religious it's cultural
00:17:59.860it's ideological and we cannot count it out just because someone gets some help we can't
00:18:04.180say that because they received a loan or they got a hand up they're suddenly going to believe
00:18:08.660in the american dream and this is the real problem once again americans are trying to associate
00:18:14.100i guess prosperity with american identity but that's not what america is yes we are a prosperous
00:18:19.460nation yes we have done well for ourselves because of our beliefs our hard work our trust in god many
00:18:25.300other blessings but ultimately that is not what defines us and it's not going to sway people who
00:18:30.100ultimately believe in an ideology that wants to see us dead or destroyed our prosperity is not
00:18:35.620enough to win everyone over no it's not and i and i've i've said this publicly before and i'll say
00:18:41.060it again that when i was at guantanamo bay and we would have the radicals telling us that they were
00:18:46.660motivated by islam that we were not allowed to write that down we were not allowed to put that
00:18:51.460in our reports. We were not allowed to say that this is the commonality. This is the thread. This
00:18:56.880is what they believe that that was. And of course, under the Obama years, that was verboten. Jack
00:19:03.380Posobiec, Aaron McIntyre, Human Events Daily, right back. They talk about influencers. These
00:19:11.620are influencers and they're friends of mine. Jack Posobiec. Where's Jack? Jack. He's done a great job.
00:19:21.460All right, Jack Silverberg, we're back live here, Human Events Daily.
00:19:27.620Folks, let me tell you something straight up.
00:21:01.380Add water, stir, and you're ready to roll.

00:21:18.040Drink coffee that tastes incredible because every sip of blackout will feel like a win.
00:21:23.040And I want to just bring Arne McIntyre back in here.
00:21:26.240So, Arne, when we talk about these things and we talk about these issues of immigration and these populations that we brought into the U.S.,0.86
00:21:35.500this ultimately does become a problem for our foreign policy, doesn't it?
00:21:39.320Because when the United States and when our presidents decide to conduct an action or decide to have a decision one way or the other on any question of foreign policy,0.78
00:21:50.520their only question should really be, is this in the interest of the United States, not will this population rise up and start killing my citizens?
00:21:59.940And yet that's become a real problem now, hasn't it?
00:22:02.700Absolutely. A lot of people will focus on diaspora politics because they might influence what decisions we make abroad because people might lobby the government for their home country.
00:22:14.220But another massive concern, as you're pointing out, is the constant possibility of blowback.
00:22:20.120Whether you support any given action by our government, it should be able to make those decisions under its own sovereignty.
00:22:26.980It shouldn't be wondering whether a large diaspora of some foreign population is going to rise up and start causing crime, terrorism, riots, any of these things.0.99
00:22:36.480And that becomes an increasing danger as you import more and more people from across the world.0.99
00:22:40.800That means you're widening yourself to a larger number of possible conflicts every time you go out and take action.0.99
00:22:46.780That's why it's so critical before you go out and really think about addressing any issue in the world that we shore up our borders first, that we fix our deportations, our immigration problem first.0.53
00:22:58.460We need that order of operations because if we don't remove those threats, those internal diaspora politics from our decision making process, then we go out and we try to do what we're doing like we're doing in Iran right now.0.55
00:23:10.440we open ourselves up to the possibility of the actions we've seen. We've already seen0.62
00:23:14.100two terror attacks since that action. Again, whether you support that conflict, you oppose
00:23:20.400that conflict, either way, you have to recognize that as long as Islamic populations are in the0.81
00:23:25.460United States, any foreign policy decision we make with their home nations could have very0.95
00:23:30.960serious and violent impacts on American citizens here at home. The whole selling point of these
00:23:36.080wars used to be we fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here now we have to
00:23:40.940do both no and it's it's it's it's it's really becoming something that is is dragging on and
00:23:49.720as the war continues and excuse me special military operation of course that's the new
00:23:54.300UFOs from war according to Vladimir Putin as supposed to call it this is going to become
00:23:58.020more of an issue just just in the last couple minutes uh you've been tweeting about this
00:24:02.500i've been looking at it where you know there there's been this argument online i guess that
00:24:08.460that people are trying to say that if if you have a difference of opinion that it feels like we're
00:24:12.580going back to 2003 that if you have a difference of opinion on strategy that all of a sudden you're
00:24:16.840some kind of traitor is that true aaron no of course not and this is the most frustrating thing
00:24:23.060look i will acknowledge right off the bat that there are a number of people who are
00:24:28.120vehemently anti-Trump who position themselves as like the true America first, and they just hate
00:24:34.680Trump and they'll do or say anything they need to hurt the man. And so I understand that those
00:24:39.980people are not acting in bad faith. And there are many people who just want to attribute anyone
00:24:43.920who has questions or concerns about the current decisions of the administration. They want to say,
00:24:49.680oh, well, they're just like that set of people who truly hate Donald Trump. But you'll notice
00:24:54.340that most of trump's very first supporters the people who are most ardently in support of trump
00:25:00.060from the very beginning they continue to hold their positive opinions of the trump administration
00:25:05.100especially what it's been doing domestically but they do worry about this and it's just like charlie
00:25:10.500kirk i know that you knew charlie very well and he was very clear his support for the president
00:25:16.200was incredibly strong his love for the president was very strong but he worried about war in iran
00:25:21.740And I think it's perfectly reasonable for people who continue to support the administration, continue to consider themselves part of the MAGA movement.
00:25:28.680In many cases, we're on the ground floor of the MAGA movement.
00:25:31.740I think it's entirely reasonable for those people to have the same concerns that Charlie Kirk did and to voice them respectfully.
00:25:51.540And you can go back. I certainly have and find things that Charlie said.
00:25:55.740And because what Charlie was doing and I've tried to make this as clear as possible, I've given some quotes to media about this as well, was he would spend four hours a day or, you know, at a time on these college campuses talking to young voters, talking to young students, talking to Gen Z, hearing what they had to say, hearing what they thought.
00:26:12.800They would talk about Jeffrey Epstein. They would talk about deportations. They would talk about economic relief and they would be anti-war.
00:26:20.760and then he would go and report that back to the administration or just say publicly for whoever
00:26:25.660was able to hear him that was his point that it wasn't some huge you know anti-trump thing his
00:26:33.600point was hey if we're trying to keep this coalition together we have to understand there
00:26:37.120are people who really support this stuff and there are also people who really don't and hopefully we
00:26:42.340can find a way to balance arn what are your coordinates for everyone i'm over at blaze tv
00:26:47.760you can get the show on youtube or on any of your favorite podcast platforms rumble everything's at
00:26:53.920orrin mcintyre also on twitter he had a great episode on friday folks all about night of the
00:27:00.240seven kingdoms the guest probably the most handsome guest smartest cleverest that he's
00:27:04.960ever had go check it out human events right back where's jack where is he jack i want to see you
00:27:17.760great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always
00:27:24.120talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting
00:27:29.060all right jack so we're back live human events daily i want to go in now we have breaking news
00:27:38.080that's coming out on this this pair of the the pennsylvania jihadists of bucks county who
00:27:46.180conducted their bombing inside New York City, that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish is now out
00:27:52.860saying that the defendants were inspired by ISIS to carry out their acts. We had some of that before,
00:27:59.680at least from some of these comments, some of these quotes from them. We're now hearing it
00:28:03.020straight from the NYPD commissioner herself. New information, though, that's just coming to light,
00:28:09.200and I'm just seeing this myself breaking in real time, is that these suspects were radicalized
00:29:07.200How has this changed sort of the sense on the ground,0.96
00:29:11.520knowing that there was this again another radical islamic inspired bombing in the heart of new york
00:29:18.800city yeah well you know people aren't really talking about it people are just going about
00:29:24.080their daily lives it's very hard to saturate new york city with any kind of incident at all and
00:29:29.760people typically believe if something happened across town that didn't happen where they are
00:29:34.060and everything's fine. And so this is something where it almost feels like the media has been
00:29:41.800downplaying it in a sense. They were trying to say at first that Madami was the target. And then
00:29:46.780they were trying to make this about the protests they were at, not about the fact that, hey, we
00:29:51.400have two Muslim migrant children that grew up in Pennsylvania that then traveled to the Middle East,0.95
00:29:58.000came back to the U.S., went to New York City, and tried to construct bombs to kill people.0.95
00:30:05.080Libby, you're someone who, you know, what's interesting is that you have a Philadelphia
00:30:08.000and New York background. Just walk us through that, because we're looking at a situation here
00:30:14.020where people who were brought into this country after 9-11, after the war broke out in Afghanistan,
00:30:19.980were then settling in the United States, who seemed to have done very well for themselves,
00:30:26.080and yet their children turn out like this.
00:30:29.440Yeah, it is really surprising, isn't it, to see that this is what's happening.
00:30:33.480You had Mayor Mamdani, who, of course, is the first Muslim mayor of the city of New York.
00:30:38.580He came out this morning in a press conference and was condemning the white supremacy that he saw at this protest.
00:30:43.820He barely touched on the counter protesters, who were, of course, the ones that were staging the violence, throwing these bombs.
00:30:50.160So that's actually something that I think is going to impact the way people think about it in New York City. It's going to reaffirm their progressive narratives that the real problem are the white men who stand up for America and not the, you know, Islamic radicalized terrorists who throw bombs.0.74
00:31:08.460we saw that these bombs were containing incendiary material, you know, screws and nails and everything0.59
00:31:14.780else. So it's very dangerous. And you have parents of these kids who are probably the people that we
00:31:22.260hear about from immigration advocates who say these people wanted to come to the United States
00:31:28.080for a better life. One of the kids' families, Kayumi, not really kids. I mean, I call everyone
00:31:33.880a kid who's under 30 so apologies but these uh these men they're um one of the one of the men's
00:31:40.360families well they're teens i would say teens they're 18 and 19 lived in newtown pennsylvania
00:31:46.040and multi-million dollar home really looks like a beautiful home the other one also lives in a
00:31:50.940very nice home in langhorne these homes were raided they probably went to american schools
00:31:56.460they were naturalized they were um let me let me just if i can so can you can you tell us a little
00:32:03.040bit about the uh the hard scrabble neighborhoods of of langhorn and newtown these are just explain
00:32:11.060the audience why you're laughing when i say that oh because these are gorgeous places to live these
00:32:15.700are beautiful homes safe neighborhoods safe shopping centers lots of kids around good school
00:32:22.340systems every opportunity really privileged places to grow up these are places you know speaking as
00:32:29.960myself and I'm not unsuccessful over here, but I could not afford to buy a home in these areas at
00:32:35.400all. They're gorgeous, really beautiful. The kind of places you drive by and you go, wow, that's
00:32:40.340really nice, terrific school districts. So it's, it's kind of absurd that young men like this would
00:32:46.840find such fault with an America that has provided them and their families with just so much. You
00:32:53.160know, one of them, their family owns a business. I'm not sure about the other one, but these are,
00:32:58.400these are well-to-do people who have taken it upon themselves to say that they hate
00:33:03.040everything that has been given to them in this country. These men are not looking for a better
00:33:09.160life. They're looking to destroy things. And in the criminal complaint that was filed by the
00:33:13.840Department of Justice, it's revealed that one of them, Amir Balot, was saying that he wanted to do
00:33:19.320more than the Boston terror bombings, that he wanted to kill more people. He complained that
00:33:24.740only three people were killed in that incident and he wanted to do more damage so this is this
00:33:29.900is what they have learned i don't know if they learned this at home if they were radicalized
00:33:34.220overseas as the daily mail is now indicating if they had taken it upon themselves which
00:33:40.020it looks like as well to find youtube videos and to um you know discover isis on their own
00:33:47.840but it really is a horrific circumstance because these are the children of america at this point
00:33:53.180And they hate them. They hate us and they hate the country.
00:33:56.700No, they hate us and they hate the country. And our good friend over at remember Leroy Press out of New York.
00:34:06.640He's got some reporting out viral news in NYC where he's saying that he has he has reporting and he's a longtime New York reporter.
00:34:15.500So, you know, when he says that he's got reporting, I really believe that he does, that he is being told that seven additional persons of interest are being connected, including one that actually built the bombs.
00:34:28.920Sources say authorities are looking into them as well as a suspect who they allegedly knew through a mosque and potentially had attended this mosque and were looking for more radicalization and had these connections.
00:34:43.160And so we're looking at a potential terror cell that we've imported.
00:34:46.340And Libby, just what does it mean, though, when you hear so many times when we talk to
00:34:51.660these, you know, Cato Institute types and they're saying, oh, well, you know, these
00:35:06.640Yeah. And there was a terror bombing of this nature in 2017, where only the bomber was injured.
00:35:13.140But that also happened in New York City. And we've seen other incidents as well.
00:35:18.200And it's the Boston, the Boston bombers themselves.
00:35:21.400Yes, it sure does. And it sure does put a falsity to that narrative.
00:35:25.020Now, there are plenty of people who do come here looking for a better life and looking for, you know, something different than what they've come from.
00:35:34.000But this is not this is clearly not one of those cases.
00:35:36.720And it's perhaps true that the people who are raising their kids in America after coming to the United States are not interested in assimilating.
00:35:46.240And that's a big problem. Yeah. And I have a question real quick.0.95
00:35:50.620And I just want to make sure that I get this out for the record.
00:35:53.360Why haven't we executed the remaining Boston bomber yet?
00:36:17.800I mean, Libby, you look at this stuff, and it's no wonder why they look at us like a joke,
00:36:23.200And they're sitting there saying, oh, we have to do better than the Boston bombers.
00:36:27.660They were they looked at the Boston bombers as role models.
00:36:31.060Yes, they sure did. And these were young men who were radicalized and decided to kill a bunch of people in Boston, which is absolutely horrific that that's what's been done.
00:36:40.020But there are not really substantial consequences. And we have a criminal justice system that lets people off.
00:36:45.400We've seen people get off after 30 convictions and then they go on to murder people in Fairfax, Virginia.
00:36:51.760another place like Newtown, super rich, super privileged, yet we have murderers just wandering
00:36:57.960around because the prosecutors couldn't be bothered to actually make sure that they stay
00:37:03.080behind bars. It's absolutely insane what we're doing to our country. It's like, we just don't
00:37:07.780love it. We don't care about our country. We don't care about our children and what we're leaving for
00:37:12.660them. And so instead we import all kinds of people who also hate the country, who teach their children
00:37:17.840to hate the country. And that's, that's really got to stop. Let me just, let me just, before we
00:37:22.780go to break, let me just, before we go to break, let me just say this. All right. And maybe it's
00:37:27.200not politically correct, but how do you think the Russians would have dealt with a couple of guys
00:37:33.500like the Boston bombers? How do you think the Russians would have dealt with guys like this
00:37:38.580when they had that ISIS attack up in, uh, Moscow a couple of years ago? How, how did those guys
00:37:44.920get treated. Yeah. Just saying, folks, just saying there are other options. We'll be right
00:37:52.580back. We're going to call this the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour. I can say confidently,
00:38:00.980I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for
00:38:05.060Jack Posobiec. And that is, I'll be honest. All right, Jack Posobiec back live. Final
00:38:14.600uh segment here human events daily i just want to just throw this out there again how would russia
00:38:21.260have dealt with the boston bombers right and that that crocus city hall attack which took place
00:38:26.600in moscow it's in the area of moscow i want to go through and remind people of this almost
00:38:32.000exactly two years ago march 22nd 2024 you had 150 people killed in moscow and another
00:38:44.220there's 600 injured, including children, by the way, including children. And you had smoke
00:38:51.720inhalation, bombs, AK-47s, just horrible, just completely horrible. And we're told only four
00:39:00.140to eight people did all of that. Just absolute horror. And this is a scourge to the entire
00:39:06.720modern world, the entire modern world. That's why you've got to come down on it hard and you've
00:39:13.560got to come down on it fast. Libby Emmons, though, we are also seeing and I haven't really
00:39:19.460done the sit rep of this. Over the weekend, we saw the burning of the these oil supplies and
00:39:28.140these oil refineries in Tehran, striking images that I think reminded a lot of people of the Gulf
00:39:34.640War. There was a report from Axios that was going around, tweeted out this morning that said that
00:39:40.700Israel was behind these Pacific bombings, but it informed the U.S. that they would conduct attacks,
00:39:45.940but the U.S. did not realize how extensive they would be. What are we looking at when we see
00:39:53.120these attacks on oil fields, potential attacks on tankers? Obviously, the Strait of Hormuz has
00:39:58.940been called into question. Does this theme seem like it is winding up soon, or are we in the
00:40:04.880escalatory spiral? It certainly looks escalatory to me. And as someone who remembers watching the,
00:40:11.800you know, first Gulf War on television, I remember distinctly coming home and my stepmom was sitting
00:40:17.260there watching it on CNN with a cigarette and a look of terror on her face. This looks kind of a
00:40:22.260little bit more like that. I have some concerns about it. We had Trump first come out and say
00:40:26.780that this was going to last four to five weeks. This past week, we saw that CENTCOM in Tampa was
00:40:32.520looking at making sure that they were prepared for at least 100 days, if not into September.
00:40:38.380So that's a substantially longer period of time. And what we're seeing is sort of the total
00:40:43.340decimation of Iran. I wonder what they're going to have to rebuild with when it gets to that point,
00:40:50.660or if that's even part of the agenda, you know, now a week in. So we're seeing a lot of destruction.
00:40:57.700We're also seeing around the world, we've seen people mourning the loss of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
00:41:04.700We've seen Putin come out and say that he's definitely going to back the new guy.
00:41:09.080We've seen some rallies in support of the new guy in Iran.
00:41:13.860So it's really all up for grabs at this point.
00:41:16.600And it's hard to, as an American who doesn't know Farsi and is not super familiar with how the Middle East operates,
00:41:23.980as most of us are over here being at the top of the food chain,
00:41:27.700um you look at this and you're not really sure what's going to happen and my primary concern of
00:41:33.140course is for our troops and for our men and women who are in harm's way i certainly don't want to
00:41:40.180see a bunch of our guys um dying for a foreign war and and certainly we're starting to see
00:41:49.140troop casualties and fatalities come in now um also a number of medical events where deployed
00:41:58.000soldiers or even reservists as many in the status are have died and are not considered combat deaths
00:42:05.740but at the same time we are tracking that as well and again no further information there was one it
00:42:11.380was a sergeant who was a reservist from the nypd who was over there another one was in saudi which
00:42:17.920is, uh, we know has also taken some fatalities. So again, this, there's a real question of,
00:42:23.380you know, we were told, and I'm just going to say this the way that I was told four years ago
00:42:27.540that, you know, I remember in the first week of the Ukraine war, we were told, oh, Russia's done.
00:42:32.340Russia can't strike back anymore. Russia's out of missiles. Remember that Russia's out of missiles,
00:42:36.740Russia's out of missiles. And here we are four years later,
00:42:40.500are still shooting missiles. They're doing it all the time, as a matter of fact,
00:42:43.520and continuing to, by the way, even though the gaze of the mainstream media and the gaze of0.74
00:42:48.480the world is not really on them right now, they are increasing their attacks in Ukraine at the
00:42:53.300same time. So that's just I'm just going to say, you know, that colors my view. And that gives me
00:42:59.140a lens through which when I hear these claims that Iran is out of missiles and Iran doesn't
00:43:04.080have any launchers anymore and Iran can't respond, it just reminds me of when I heard that four years
00:43:09.420ago from Russia. You know what I mean? Yeah, I sure do. And now we also have Zelensky offering
00:43:14.560to come in and help the United States take down these Shahed missiles because Iran has been0.91
00:43:19.780delivering the Shahed missiles to Russia. And then the Ukraine has been taking them down using, I0.97
00:43:24.620believe, United States munitions. And now they're teaching us how to use our own munitions to take0.64
00:43:30.420down the same drones that they've been fighting for the past few years. So it's all sort of coming
00:43:36.480together. We have a whole full circle thing going on here. But yes, I am with you on that. I do have
00:43:42.020some concerns that this is going to last far past September. And my primary interest in securing
00:43:49.160America and making sure that domestically Americans have everything they need, lower gas
00:43:55.100prices, affordable groceries, and accessible housing, because that's what really matters to us.
00:44:00.780when you see the this this question of the gas prices this has come up president trump truth
00:44:07.700about it he says look we might be taking a temporary increase now but it's going to achieve
00:44:13.460world peace um when when you look out at you know the u.s do you think that's something that's going
00:44:19.960to have cachet with people or is it is it going to tide people over if this thing only goes a month
00:44:25.620What what are your is your response to that? Well, I remember when Joe Biden came out a few years ago and started talking about what was it like transitory interest rates and said that it was just going to be very temporary.
00:44:36.440And we're all paying like, yeah. And then the next thing we know, we're all paying like twelve dollars for a box of organic eggs at the grocery store.
00:44:43.980And we're like, what is this? What is even going on? And that lasted for some time, as did the high gas prices.
00:44:49.940and the high gas prices only came down when Biden decided to release a bunch of our strategic
00:44:54.660oil reserves. Trump has vowed to refill them. So I'm not really sure what's going to happen with
00:45:00.760that. But Americans primarily care about America, about securing our homeland. And I do also have
00:45:06.660some concerns about any potential sleeper cells that are out there. We don't necessarily know
00:45:12.160who's come into our country. We don't know at all. Over the past four years, what, 20,000
00:45:16.460people pretty much unaccounted for we've definitely had some removals we've had people
00:45:21.600self-deporting but my guess is that anyone who's come into this country with the explicit intention
00:45:26.740of harming it has probably decided to stay put so that's something that i worry about as well
00:45:31.760so when you have that by the way people who are radicalizing in newtown pa you know there's there's
00:45:38.380cause for alarm well libby i want to say this that you know during at the time of his arrest
00:45:44.180but this is from the indictment. Balot was carrying a Pennsylvania driver's license and PA address
00:45:49.040after the arrest several blocks south. L.A. identified that he had a New Jersey license plate
00:45:55.260in a car that was registered to one of his family members. Data from a plate readers show that just
00:46:01.480about one hour before the device was thrown that they crossed the George Washington Bridge upper
00:46:08.520level. So could you imagine a couple of guys with these, you know, again, improvised explosive
00:46:14.360devices, so devices that are inherently unstable, imagine if they had gone off, not at Gracie
00:46:20.840Mansion, but on the bridge? Yeah, right. I mean, that's sort of devastating. And we're not the
00:46:26.340only ones with this kind of imagination. People who hate our country have this kind of extensive
00:46:30.920imagination as well. And we do have a lot of targets that are pretty vulnerable, you know,
00:46:36.100because we live in a peaceful and beautiful country, for the most part, where we can trust
00:46:41.440that our infrastructure, again, for the most part, is going to stay standing. So yeah, I'm with you
00:46:47.580on that. And I wonder how much stomach the American people have for any kind of further,
00:46:53.000long, drawn-out engagement, specifically in the Middle East, where we have so many bad memories,
00:46:58.020and where we only just recently extracted ourselves from Afghanistan with a loss of 13 of our U.S.
00:47:04.740Armed Forces members on that day in August 2021. Libby Emmons, Postmillennial and Human Events,
00:47:13.080what are your coordinates? You can find me on Twitter at Libby Emmons. And of course,
00:47:17.960check out my new podcast, The Pod Millennial at thepodmillennial.com.
00:47:23.320All right. And folks, I want to be very clear that there's no question that the Iranian regime0.96
